Long. 3.^ Jin. 



Head : eyes bare and separated by a wide black stripe, wliich occupies about 

 one-seventh of the width of the head ; arista pubescent at the base, which is 

 tliickened. 



Thora.v with Sniffllitm l)lack, shining, and unstriped. 



Abdomen of a brownish-grey colour, without white rodections, and having a 

 widish black longitudinal stripe down the middle of the dorsum, of an even width 

 over each segment, though sliglitly evanescent on the last; genital appendages 

 A)rining a small cylindrical ])rojection underneath. 



Wings short, of an uniform yellowish-brown colour ; intmial transverse veins 

 exactly opposite the ends of the axillary veins ; external transverse veins sinuous, 

 and slightly oblique ; third and fourtli longitudinal veins slightly convergent at their 

 extremities, but less so than in JI. dentipes. 



Calgp/ra rather small (less than in Jl. dentipe.s) and yellowish-brown. llalUrcs 

 with the stem tawny and the knob blackish-brown. 



Z^-^s black; anterior femora with two teeth on their under-sidcs near their 

 apices, the inner of which is about twice as long as the outer ; anterior tibiae nar- 

 rowed at the base, slightly notched (less so than in IT. dentipes), and without peculiar 

 cilia; middle femora bearded on their under-sides at the base with a tuft of black 

 hairs as in If. dentipes ; middle tibise ciliated along the whole length of their outer 

 sides with a series of short curved hairs or bristles of even length, imbricated over 

 each other, and having in addition three long strong bristles on their lower halves ; 

 there are also three or four shorter bristles on the posterior sides of the same limb ; 

 posterior tibiie attenuated at the base, and without callosities at their inner ex- 

 tremities, slightly curved, and ciliated along their outer surfaces with soft luiirs, 

 which become gradually longer towards the apex ; there are also several long bristles 

 on the posterior surfaces at the lower ends. 



The female is unknown to me. 



This species bears a very close resemblance to //. paloistrica, but differs in 

 being smaller and darker in colour, in having sliorter and browner wings ; a rather 

 wider frontal space between the eyes ; and a much wider longitudinal dorsal stripe 

 on the abdonum. It appears to be rare, as I have only seen one specimen, which I 

 captured near Bicester, Oxon, in June, 1880.
